Why do expensive cars ROT? Previous Benz's owned, 1980, 83, 85, and 1987, 123, 124, 107, and 190...all rotted at the jack-ports within 8 years, and on the 87 in addition, rot also at rear spring perch, starboard side! The 603 with 300K would outlive my grandchildren....but the 124 body...noooo! I'd buy another Benz if not for the rot! Such a shame!
